Alev heard the nervousness in Hiro's laugh and raised an eyebrow. 'What's up with that? What does he have to be nervous of'

Seth sighed, knowing that arguing the point would just lead to more negative emotions. He hugged Hiro quickly before standing up. "I'm gonna go get a coke from the vending machine down the hall. Do either of you want anything?"
"I'm fine with anything." He smiles. He was nervous because he didn't know how to react to anything. He just wanted to say the right thing.
Alev raised fist and tossed Seth some coins. "I'll take a Sprite little dude." Seth nodded and walked out of the office, shutting the door gently behind him. Alev sighed then pierced Hiro with a sharp look. "Alright, what's going on between you two?"
"What do you mean?" He looked at her confused.
Alev started checking things off her fingers. "You just said Seth was hurt already [I smelled the blood but wasn't sure about it], might I mention that it's kinda hard for demons to be hurt?, two, Seth was pretty much cowering when you started to get mad, which, however unsocial he is, that's weird, and three when you laughed just now I could hear nervousness behind it. So. What has happened that I can smell the fear radiating off of Seth?"
"…I don't know much to be honest…I just know a succubus went after him…And he was hurt badly. And i nervously laughed because I'm not the kind who knows what to say. I have no idea why he acted the way he did when i got mad. Could be because we've fought before." He tried to answer the questions the best he could do.
Alev sighed. "What kind of fight was this? What happened?"
"…He kept calling himself a defect and I snapped."
Alev eyes grew sad. "…That was a bit of his mother's fault. He was raised to call himself a defect. It's not something he can just stop doing. He's gonna do it more. You just need to gently remind him. He… didn't grow up in the best family. He's not gonna be fixed in a couple days. It could take years." She looked out the window and sighed. "What did he do after you snapped?"
"Tried to kill himself…I had to stop him…I told him true things." He looks away. "He didn't believe me at first…"
Alev quickly sat up. "Kill himself? How!?"
"He went to a church that was close to my house…I can't say for sure what he was going to do but he opened the book…He shut it when I got there…"
Alev face was white now, her eyes wide. "Oh. My. Gods." She slumped back into her chair and started taking deep breathes. "It's ok Alev. He's alive. He didn't do anything. He's alive. It's okay…." she murmured to herself.
Hiro asked if she was ok. He felt like he did something wrong. "S-Sorry…I should've stayed quiet…" He curls up. This is why he prefers to keep his mouth shut.
Alev looked up at Hiro. "Hiro, he was trying to find his verse of destruction. Something that would not only kill his physical form, but every piece of him. Meaning, he would've been wiped from existence on all planes and dimensions. He would not exist!"
"…" Hiro was already beating himself up about it. He just wanted to curl up a disappear. "I shouldn't have screamed…I shouldn't even be near him…All I did was hurt him."
Alev groaned and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "What's done is done. He's alive. We should be grateful for that." She sighed. "Hiro, you're not bad for him. If Seth chose you for a mate, it means he's devoted to you. Don't ask me why. But don't give up on him please. He needs someone to love him and for him to love back. Just… give him the attention and love he needs. He's already been through too much as a defective demon."
"I highly doubt he's Defected…Just different…" He sighs. "…I just don't want him getting hurt…" He check the door as a habit he has.
Alev sighed softly. "He's defective in the terms of a demon. I'm much the same way but my emotions don't heavily control me the way his do." Then the door opened and Seth hopped into the room again, with another human trailing behind. Alev looked up. Seth handed her her Sprite and flopped on the couch again, handing Hiro a Dr. Pepper. "Sorry I was gone so long. I met Gerald coming up the stairs, and we got to talking." Alev smiled at Gerald. "Hello sweetheart. Is everything ok? Who's watching the baby?" Gerald smiled back. "Old Nancy. You know she's been begging to watch her ever since she was born." The couple chuckled.
Hiro hugged him tightly not letting go anytime soon. "…"
Seth looked at Hiro in confusion but snuggled closer nonetheless. "Something the matter?" he asked, stroking Hiro's hair. Gerald turned and looked at Hiro. "Oh ho! So the squirt finally got himself a mate eh? 'Bout time. My name's Gerald." he greeted Hiro. "What's yours?"
"Hiro…And I-I'm fine." He looked at the man than to Seth.
Seth gestured to Gerald. "Alev's mate and husband."
Seth tilted his head and nuzzled into Hiro's neck. "You sure you're ok Cupcake?"
